Why staying near Broken Bow Lake matters.

The lake is the summer hub: pontoon rentals, lakeside swimming, scuba (it's one of the clearest lakes in Oklahoma), and sunset cruises. Beavers Bend Marina handles most rentals. At 5.1 miles from the cabin door, Broken Bow Lake is a short enough hop that you can go twice in one weekend instead of building the whole day around it.

What to do at Broken Bow Lake.

Pontoon rental (4 or 8 hours), kayak/SUP rental, swimming at Stevens Gap or Beaver Lodge beach, scuba diving with Backwoods Scuba, and sunset cruises in season.

Getting there from the cabins.

From either cabin it is 5.1 miles on paved road, and the route is straightforward enough that you will not need directions after the first trip. Cell service drops in patches once you leave the main highway, so download your map before you head out. Parking at Broken Bow Lake is easiest before 10am and after 4pm on weekends.

Other stops within a few minutes.

Broken Bow Dam (5.6 miles), Hochatown Distilling Co. (2.6 miles), Mountain Fork Brewery (2.9 miles). Most guests pair Broken Bow Lake with one of these and call it a half-day — that is the whole appeal of staying this close to everything.

Local tip.

Reserve pontoons 2 weeks ahead for summer weekends — the marina runs out by mid-morning Saturday.
